Time marches on...

So last night a friend and I were quoting lines from my all time favorite movie, Steel Magnolias.

One of my favorite quotes has always been, "Honey, time marches on and eventually you realize it's marchin' across your face." -Truvy

This was a favorite until I looked in the mirror this morning and noticed these absolutely horrid lines permanently engraved on my forehead! (And other random places across my face!) I started making different faces at myself in the mirror to figure out what expressions I absolutely had to be void of from this point forward...ya know what I found!? These lines show up the most when I'm at my happiest! The bigger I smile the deeper the lines around my mouth get. The goofier the faces I make with my baby cousin, the deeper the lines on my forehead get.

So as I sat on my bathroom counter, making faces at myself in the mirror and thanking God that I still live alone so no one would catch me doing this, I realized that I will gladly keep these lines (for now...who knows, I may be rich some day and can afford botox! ;) ) because they truly do express me!

"Smile! It increases your face value!" -Truvy

Big Girl Say What!?

I am a big girl, or as my late aunt would say, "you ain't fat, you're just fluffy!" I personally like to consider myself "large and in charge". All of this being said, it is extremely difficult to find *cute*affordable*tasteful*fabulous* clothes for myself and my fabulous curvy sisters.

I would consider myself a fashionista regardless of the fact that I have to work twice as hard as my skinny sisters to find clothes that I will actually wear. SO random posts are likely to pop up now and again giving some love to some of my favorites! (Brands, stores, specific pieces, etc.)

If you are a skinny sister, well, I like jewelry too. No worries! ;)

I'll leave you with one of my favorites at the moment (hopefully will be in my closet soon!)...

(This is the Jacquelin Maxi from Kiki La'Rue (kikilarue.com ...check them out!)...How gorge is this!)

Almost That Time of Year!

The holidays are so quickly approaching and I, for one, am ecstatic! There is nothing better than Thanksgiving and Christmas! I LOVE spending time with my family cooking for Thanksgiving dinner and then of course eating until we are nauseous! Even more than the cooking though, my favorite part of getting ready for the holiday season is decorating. After moving out on my own last year I finally have the freedom *and space* to decorate how I want and when I want, and that is enough to make me want to do a happy dance!

SO, for the next couple of months I will likely be blogging a lot about the holidays, Thanksgiving favorites for my family, and of course the fabulous decorations I will have up for Christmas. For now I'll just post a few pictures of my Thanksgiving decor that is up now and Christmas pics from last year! Hopefully it will get you in a festive spirit too! (Like, I'm so festive right now I've already starting watching Christmas movies! What!)

 Ok, so I really had to throw back to Halloween. I painted this super cute little bucket for my baby cousin to take trick-or-treating. She thought it was fabulous and absolutely loved it!

 Halloween again, I painted this just because I thought it was cute. It ended up in my moms office. Her co-workers have decided we are having a painting party soon! Excited!

 Ok, now we are getting to Thanksgiving! This was thrown together very quickly but I thought it turned out pretty cute!

 Took my mom to a painting class to prove to her that she can paint too! This was our cute creation for the night!

 My first attempt at painting pumpkins! I kinda like them! :)

 And finally, my favorite! Christmas time in La Casa de Kacie! Reds, Browns, Golds, Blacks, Leopard Print and of course, anything that GLITTERS!!!
